Stack 'Em Up!



I have been obsessing over bangles and I can't seem to get enough of them! Currently, my favorite ones are the enamel bangles (last image below) and I pretty much wear them with anything. However, wearing one does not suffice--I like to stack them up to enhance my outfit by giving it color and pop. Of course, don't overdo it by piling ten on one arm. I like wearing one large bangle on one arm, and stacking three or four of the smaller ones on the other arm. I do like to mix colors, but I usually keep them in the same family. For example, I would pair up the gold bangles together (first image below; disregard the silver one). They are all gold, but the different designs makes it far from boring. The best places to get this arm candy are stores like Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, or H&M. Another option are street vendors. They usually have great, unique pieces that are so cheap! My enamel bangles were from a local street vendor in Singapore that were selling 3 for just a mere $10! Don't be afraid to stack them up!

Shoe Spotlight: Christian Louboutin's "Rodita" Sandals


I was strolling through Santana Row in San Jose this evening and was stopped in my tracks when I came across the "Rodita" Sandal by Christian Louboutin. I love the crisscross straps, the zip detailing, and the fact that the buckle fastens around the ankle. They come in various colors such as navy, black, red, and white. However, Louboutin has teamed up with Footcandy to make limited pairs of the "Rodita" sandal in hot pink. Although these sandals cost a staggering $895, all proceeds will go to GTAEF (Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation), which helps rescue elephants from the streets of Thailand. What a great way to buy a fabulous pair of shoes and support such a great cause at the same time!
